Always have an open dialog with your child.
One of the most important aspects of being a parent is making sure that your child feels comfortable talking to you. Make sure that your child knows that there is always a line of dialog open for them if they ever feel the need to talk to you. If your kid is naturally more quiet then prompt them to talk with you more. At the dinner table ask about their day, their friends, and their grades. On the ride over to school you can get to know what your child is looking forward to or not looking forward to. No matter what, having a child willing to communicate with you is a great first step toward getting them to reach their greatest goals.

Listen to your child’s passions.
Passion can be a fickle thing and one that is hard to understand. Some people will fall in love with a career path that seems absolutely droll to another set of people. If your child falls in love with something that you don’t even like, don’t try to dismiss it right away. Explore this passion that your child is developing and see if there is anything to it. Allow your child to try out their passions and you’ll eventually find that they settle on something they truly love.
